readily available to an .....

His goal was to create a film that would show the future state of the world if

A Midsummer Night's Dream: Resolution
Number of words: 475 - Number of pages: 2.... seems that Lysander is mocking her over this very fact.
Hermia is also in terrible pain due to the sudden change of heart seen in her
lover. Demetrius is still seeking Hermia with no hope of success and Lysander
is trapped in the daze of love for a woman that is not his true love. It is
with this feeling of utter helplessness that Shakespeare ends act II.
Although this is one of Shakespeare's comedies, an interesting way to
resolve the story would be to take the traditional tragic approach: everyone
dies. Hermia, caught between her father's wish that she marry Demetrius and her
strong l .....

Othello: Reasons For Iago's Hatred Of Othello
Number of words: 1571 - Number of pages: 6.... of appointing Iago who had plenty of experience on the

combine to magnify Iago's hatred of th .....

hide inside. Above the stage was a higher acting area which symbolized a porch
or balcony. This was useful in the story of Romeo and Juliet, when Romeo stood
